Constitutionally, voting to leave the UK in a referendum instructs the Scottish government of the day to enact the policy. It is not a vote for the SNP or its policies.
Humouring you for a minute. Assuming the SNP wins a majority this year, is there time to get an independence referendum pushed through, won and enacted and then to have rejoined the EU. All in five years before the next Scottish elections when Scotland could elect a different government?

Andrew, what planet are you on? The UK government knows exactly why the SNP want to rush things. So no legal/binding referendum will be permitted in the short term. Of course because all politicians (except John Redwood) are liars, that could change.
